Oh damn hell Lord Drake, you are reminding me of the torture of science history ;D ''Science pictures are pictures, but are they just depictions, or are they art as well? How can they depict something if the thing they are going to depict only becomes real by the depiction?''
But seriously, if you want to draw or an image I don't know how I could help. Maybe we could use an original base and then someone works it into a background picture by adding colour, other images, blurry effects whatever? I could still find basic background pictures that would need to be adjusted:
